Day 16 - They Just Keep Growing

The chickens are doing well and growing fast.  They're eating more of the sprouts than they were before and are all eating the grain mash that I mix for them much better.  They still love the hard boiled eggs but I only give it to them a few times a week.  I thought I'd show some pictures to show how much they've changed in the past two weeks.  They almost have all their wing feathers and all but Bertha have started to see their tail feathers arrive.  I put in a small roost for them on Sunday and they've started to sit on it from time to time.  They're not actually roosting yet but they're learning.

Saturday (Day 13) I took some new pictures.  I've put them below with to their Day 2 photos.

Molly's gotten much bigger!

Ruthie's really developing fast.

Bertha's still growing the slowest but her wing feathers are coming in nicely.
Her wings are much smaller than the other birds.

For some reason, Ruby refused to wake up during here photo shoot.
Don't worry, she's still running around like crazy.

Bob's definitely continued to grow the fastest.

While we were shooting pictures, my almost 2 year old was watching.  He loves the chicks and loves to pet them and look at them when they're out.  My biggest joy of having the chicks has been watching the boys connect with nature and learn more about animals and growing their own food.

Here he is giving Molly a hug.  He's so gentle with the girls.

Bertha is Kaisyn's favorite!
